Drawing No. 9. Product Change Classification 10. Classification Substantiation To move all cordage products using Nylon based tight buffer to Low Smoke PVC tight buffer or to UV Cured Tight Buffer 11. Reason(s) for Change/Recall Due to a catastrophic event at a manufacturing facility (Evonik Industries AG, Germany) of our primary material supplier there is a global disruption in supply of a key Nylon material. This will impact suppliers and customers in multiple industries including automotive, solar energy and telecommunications. The nylon shortage is a situation of force majeure requiring a rapid change to alternate buffer materials (Low Smoke PVC or UV Cured Coating). 12. Description of Change/Recall Nylon tight buffers will be replaced within all cordage materials to either Low Smoke PVC or UV Cured Acrylate. The LSPVC is targeted at NAR Region based cables requiring OFNR ratings and UVCured is targeted at LSZH EMEA based standards rated products. 13. Effect of Change/Recall No change in form, fit or function. 14. Material\Product Affected New cable codes will be released to note the changes and effective dates. Target change overs will start immediately. D
